SoftMaker Office 2021 PRO - create word documents, spreadsheets and presentations - software for Windows 10 / 8 / 7 and MAC - compatible with Microsoft Office Word, Excel and PowerPoint - for 5 PCs. By Markt + Technik. 5.0 out of 5 stars 2. DVD-ROM $99.99 $ 99. When I bought the computer last year it had some version of Office. I stupidly agreed to try the trial of Office 365 not knowing it would cost $99 each and every year or that it would disable the previous working program on my PC. I want to buy Office but I will not go with a subscription. Microsoft info is totally silent on this question.
Alongside the version included in the Office 365 subscription package, Microsoft says it will release another Office for Mac update in 2021, which will be a single purchase.

Ahead of its refreshed Outlook for Mac coming in October, Microsoft has announced that it will release a new edition of the full Office for Mac with what it calls a 'perpetual licence' instead of subscription. Coming some time in the second half of next year, what may be called 'Office 2021' is to be sold as a one-off purchase.

'Microsoft Office will also see a new perpetual release for both Windows and Mac, in the second half of 2021,' said Microsoft in a blog post. No further details were provided, and the blog post was chiefly about updates to Exchange Server, which 'are only available with the purchase of a subscription license.'
Office for Mac was originally a single, one-off purchase from when it first came out in 1998. Office 2016 mac retina. From 2013 onwards, however, Microsoft has been increasingly promoting its continuous subscription version, Office 365, for both Mac and Windows.
